Hurricanes Close to Landing Rangers Star: Report
The Carolina Hurricanes are reportedly working on landing star defenseman K'Andre Miller from the New York Rangers. New York has been looking to move Miller this offseason, and if the deal goes through, Carolina would land one of the more interesting blueliners in the league.

NHL insider Elliotte Friedman reported the update on social media.
Miller has star potential and is a former first-round draft pick of the Rangers. New York has been looking to make some big moves this offseason after missing the playoffs.
Miller had seven goals and 20 assists for the Rangers last season over 74 games. Putting him on a loaded Carolina team would help his numbers improve.
Carolina made the Eastern Conference finals this year but fell short of the ultimate goal again. The Hurricanes lost to the eventual Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers in a five-game series, and the team may need a few more pieces to get over the hump.

Dodgers' Dave Roberts Gives Injury Update on Roki Sasaki
Dodgers' Dave Roberts Gives Injury Update on Roki Sasaki originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Los Angeles Dodgers rookie phenom Roki Sasaki has been on the injured list since early May with a right shoulder impingement, and manager Dave Roberts is providing a more positive update on Sasaki's condition compared to the one he gave nearly three weeks ago. Advertisement "He's just not feeling that he can kind of ramp it up, so I gather that we're trying to hold the baseball a little bit until he feels like we can get going again," Roberts said last month. According to Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times, Roberts has a bit more encouraging outlook on Sasaki's condition. Roberts said that Sasaki is "feeling really good," which is a good sign that the starting pitcher could be making progress in his recovery. Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Roki Sasaki (11) looks on in the dougout during the third inning of the game against the Athletics at Dodger Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images Sasaki's MLB debut this season has been a rollercoaster, flashing elite strikeout capability coupled with control issues. He went 1-1 in his eight starts, pitching 34.1 innings with 24 strikeouts, 22 walks, and a 4.72 ERA. Sasaki's struggles adjusting to MLB hitting have only been set back even farther because of the shoulder injury. Advertisement Like many, Joe Mistretta of ClutchPoints is exceptionally high on the pitcher, which makes a full recovery for Sasaki that much more critical to the top team in the National League. "Anyone who has watched Sasaki pitch understands how high his ceiling is," Mistretta said. "The right-handed pitcher could become a Cy Young candidate if he develops consistency at the big league level." Sure, the up-and-down starting pitching for Los Angeles has been a concern this season, but the Dodgers have no reason to rush Sasaki back. He got hurt on May 13 and could be activated by the All-Star break, although it does not seem that promising. Roberts has yet to provide a return date.

Celtics Owner Reminds Knicks Fans Who's Boss With Simple Comment
Celtics Owner Reminds Knicks Fans Who's Boss With Simple Comment originally appeared on Athlon Sports. For the New York Knicks, chasing the elusive championship has been a decades-long rollercoaster – one that's tested even the most loyal fans' patience. Year after year, they've come close enough to keep hope alive but never enough to silence the critics. Advertisement And while Knicks fans are used to the usual jabs from rival fanbases, this time the dig hit a little differently. Instead of some trash talk on social media, it was actually a team owner who decided to twist the knife and, it's not something Knicks fans will be thrilled to hear. The man in question here is Wyc Grousbeck, owner of the Boston Celtics. In a video posted on X, Grousbeck appeared to walk onto a stage for a panel discussion. While on his way to the seat, Grousbeck said, "Nice playoff win, Knicks fans, but here's what a ring looks like." It's not exactly clear what sparked Grousbeck's comment maybe he was clapping back at some fans heckling him, or maybe it just slipped out during a heated debate. Advertisement Either way, it's not every day you see an NBA team owner taking shots at another fanbase like that. New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (8) drives to the basket between Detroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson (9) and forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (8) during the second quarter of game four of first round for the 2025 NBA Playoffs at Little Caesars Reginek-Imagn Images The biggest deal in North American sports history went down when the Boston Celtics were sold for a massive $6.1 billion. Bill Chisholm, managing partner at Symphony Technology Group and a lifelong Celtics fan, agreed to buy the team from Wyc Grousbeck's group, topping the $6.05 billion sale of the Washington Commanders back in 2023. Grousbeck's group had originally bought the Celtics for just $360 million in 2002 and he will remain the Celtics owner through the 2027-28 season.
